People could all be having a lot more fun, though, if it weren't for the social pressures around them. The pressure for men to make their partners climaxcombined
on the off chance this should happen between two lovers, "They're fucking lucky." When it comes to helping a woman climax, size really doesn't matter, particularly since most

with the pressure for women to reach climax during intercourse is a climax-killing combo, Dailey says. "The idea of two human beings having orgasms at the same time is biologically ridiculous," Dailey says. But
women climax because of some form of clitoral stimulation, he says.
What about the G-spot?
"It's generally a male construct," Dailey says. "It's men hunting for a new place
on women for them to tweak, and they get the credit for making them come."
Guys, this is really good news for you — your girl is behind the wheel of her own orgasm, and you can forget about performance and just enjoy the ride. However, even though you aren't actually in the driver's seat, this is a situation when asking for directions could help you — and your partner — both get there. You probably won't arrive at the same time, but when it comes to orgasms, it's as much about the ride as it is the destination.

DON'T WASH YOUR HAIR EVERY DAY.
Not washing your hair every day could be beneficial to sustain your hair's nutrients. For both men and women, shampooing and conditioning three times a week is sufficient to keep hair healthy, says Bri McClure, stylist at Absolu Salon and Spa, 3727 W. Sixth St. St. takes out natural oils, which moisturize during dry months.

Jason Superawn, bartender at Red Lion, 944 Massachusetts St., says he's had multiple tips of only $2 on a tab of $100. And he's not the only one. Greg Levy, bartender at Henry's on Eighth, 11 E. Eighth St., says drinkers open

tabs, and at the end of the night leave him about a 2 percent tip, he says. Round out your karma by rounding up the tip the next time you're fumbling with your receipt at the end of the night.
DID YOU KNOW.
Some antibiotics and vitamins interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. If you're taking multiple medications at the same time, it's harder for the body to absorb all of them as it normally would, says Cathy Thrasher, pharmacist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, 1200 Schwegler Drive. If you don't want to get pregnant, be sure to tell your
doctor and pharmacist if you are taking other medications and use backup birth control until the antibiotic gets out of your system. Thrasher says.
Ask your doctor when it's all right to rely on your birth control again.
